Lyrics

All My Life

[Instrumental]

Oh, my love

Never been so here before

Never known the way before

Never seen it in all of my love

Oh, my life

Never seen the way in the light

Never knowing the heaven or not

Or the sound of the northern lights

Oh, my song

Never heard a line unsung

See our cells coming undone

Never seen the light

Never seen, never seen the light

Tell me that you want me

Deal it on my side

I can feel it haunt me

Heaven on my eyes

And I know, I know

I know, I know

Oh, my life

Never been so here in my love

Never been so scared in my life

Heaven, knows never in love

Never in love, never in love

Tell me that you want me

Deal it on my side

I can feel it haunt me

Heaven on my eyes

And I know, I know

I know, I know
